SUMMARY:4-H Page Day in Augusta
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to participate in 4-H Page Day is being offered on Tuesday\, March 18. It is Maine Agriculture Policy Day in the Maine Legislature\, a time dedicated to celebrating the hardworking farmers\, producers\, and agricultural leaders who sustain Maine’s economy and rural heritage. It’s also a time for youth to get actively involved in their democracy\, to see how and who makes decisions that impact our state\, and to be involved in that process themselves. 4-Hers age 13 or older are encouraged to serve as Honorary Pages. The Maine 4-H program has up to 20 slots for Honorary Pages and registration is first come\, first serve with a deadline of March 7. \nWhat does a page do? Legislators are constantly communicating and making decisions while in session and pages make that communication possible. Pages hand out information packets or place the paper information on their desks. Pages will also run communication and documents directly from legislator to legislator. It’s fast paced and pages will be moving around the chambers quite a bit\, taking direction from the Clerks. We will meet at 8:30 for pictures and an orientation. Then at 9:00am we will divide our group with one going to the House and the other to the Senate where each group will receive their instructions. Session will begin by 10:00am and will likely conclude around 12:30pm\, but the timing is never certain. Lunch will be on your own. \nIf you have questions or would like to request an accommodation please do so by March 7 by contacting Karen Giles\, karen.giles@maine.edu .

SUMMARY:4-H Volunteer Connections: Growing Beyond the Ribbon
DESCRIPTION:Our 4-H Volunteer Connections are structured to offer connection\, engagement\, and networking for our 4-H volunteers in the Northeast Region. We bring volunteers together from CT\, DE\, MA\, ME\, NH\, NJ\, NY\, PA\, RI\, VT\, and WV! These Zoom sessions start with “connection before content” with fun icebreaker games and conversation.  We then move to the evening topic\, sometimes led by experts from different states or volunteers as teams or panelists.  Volunteers get the chance to spend time in breakout rooms with individuals from other parts of the region to share ideas and learn from one another.  We would love for your to join us! \nGrowing Beyond the Ribbon \n\nJoin us to explore how the Danish System can be used as a strategy to cultivate youth who continue to grow and thrive. Take a closer look at what those colored ribbons mean and learn strategies to cultivate youth thriving by meeting youth where they are and guiding them to their next level of growth. \n\n\nRegister for Growing Beyond the Ribbon
